Title: Make TCPO (for making glow sticks)
Post by: nurd.rage on June 05, 2009, 03:31:57 AM
Hey everyone, i've been a long time lurker here and finally wanted to contribute something worthy.

I really like Glow Sticks and after messing around with the chemistry for awhile i've put together this video on how to make a key ingredient "TCPO" or bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate.
